What should I know about manual roller garage doors in Gerrards Cross?

Think about who will open the door and how often, since a manual curtain has to be lifted and pulled down by hand every time.
Look at the reveals on each side for solid masonry, because the guide rails need roughly 75 to 100 mm of wall to fix to.
Ask how the bottom-rail lock works and where the keys will be kept, since the lock is what secures a closed manual door.
Check whether the garage has power, because a manual door needs none, while converting to electric later would need a supply near the box.

Rules that apply in Gerrards Cross

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Manual roller garage doors in Gerrards Cross: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Gerrards Cross?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Gerrards Cross. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

What do you check at a survey in SL9?

At a survey in SL9 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Gerrards Cross?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Gerrards Cross garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Gerrards Cross without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do manual roller doors need servicing?

They need less attention than an electric door, but basic care still helps. Keep the guide rails free of leaves and grit, and only use the lubricant the manufacturer recommends, as many doors shouldn't have oil on the guides. If the door becomes heavy to lift, drops on its own or runs unevenly, stop using it and ask for a visit, priced and agreed beforehand.

Can I have insulated laths on a manual roller door?

Our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths, and the insulated doors in our price list are electric. So if a warmer, quieter garage is what you're after, you'd be looking at an insulated electric door. Compare the two price bands for your width and think about how you use the space before deciding whether the extra cost is worth it.
